Hey @Ryan Barnes, you can’t RDS Proxy with Serverless Aurora

According to point #5 here:

We recommend using RDS Data Api with Serverless Aurora v1

U don’t need to manage connections, and ur Lambdas don’t need to be deployed inside a VPC

I see. U should be able to use Lambda with Data Api, and EC2 instances connect directly to RDS
